THE LIMITED PULLMAN,
Four New Vestibule Coaches for the II ar
HarbOr Service.

The great favor with which the public have
received the Boston & Names Boston and
Mt. Desert limited train of Pullman vestibule
cars, has encouraged the Pullman Company
to build at an expense of some S75, 900, four
new vestibule coaches for this service
Two of these have been received in Boston
from the Pullman works at Chicago. The
new coaches for the Mt. Desert limited
are drawing room or day cars, and beyond
question they are the fioest cars that the
Pullman company, so long celebrated for ex-
cellent work, have ever turned out of their
shops.
The new cars are of great length, and seat
some 10 passengers in the saloon, state and
smoking rooms, into which three compart-
ments they are divided. While the smoking
end is finished in English quartered oak, the
remainder is of mahogany. Carpets are of
the best Wilton, curtains of raw silk, and
seats upholstered in blue plush. The lamps
are of silver gilt of handsome design
A portion of the windows are bay windows,
and besides the usual buffet, common to the
Pullman service. a well-stocked library OF
choice works is handsomely encased in each
car.
As now run, the Mt. Desert limited, con
sisting of dining car and three drawing room
coaches all from the Pullman company, and
connected a la vestibule system, is a big
thing for Maine

Getty OF AUGUSTA"
II IL Boston scheme with Hon. p. O.
Vickery Behind IT.

That a new Augusta and Portland steamer
is to be placed on the water route between
these two cities is now assured, and the '.Jessie
B." will be retired. AS we have noticed be-
fore the new boat will be the "Sylvan Glen,
which is one of the smartest and prettiest
steamer crafts afoat, in striking contrast with
the old boat now running. She is All
tons burden, IT'S feet in length, AZ feet beam
She draws but 81 feet of water, which will
allow navigation of the river at all times
She is ''side-w heeer" and is equipped with
powerful engine. AZ inch cylinder and feet
stroke. She is very rapid and Capt. Kilmer
says she can beat any thing in these waters,
making sixteen miles an hour with ease and
regularity. She is fitted up with especial
attention to the convenience and comfort of
passengers. On the main deck is ladies'
saloon and on the promenade
deck the main saloon and state.
rooms. Above these is the hurricane deck
The boat is but two years old and was built
at an original cost of $4,000. Her cost to
the new owners will be about S45 ,O0O
She has been running on
the route between Jacksonville and Palatka,
Fla, and is in New York now. Capt Kill
mer expects to bring her to Augusta the last
of next week or the first of the week follow
ing. The steamer will be re.christened
"City of Augusta" in honor of the capital
city. The captain expects to create a new
route between this city and Boston. His
plan is to make round trips daily, between
Portland and Augusta. The steamer will
leave the former place at 6 A. NJ, connect
ing with the Boston boats, arriving here about
noon. Returning she will sail from this city
at 2. M. arriving in Portland in season
for passengers TO take the Boston boats.
Thus daily line between Augusta and Bos-
ton will be established. The distance from
this city to Portland is II miles and he says
the round trip can be made easily. Capt.
Kilmer has been engaged for several days in
obtaining subscriptions to the stock of the
company. One of the heaviest takers was
Hon. P. o. Vickery, who subscribed $4,000.
Twenty thousand dollars more has been dis
posed of among Water street mer-
chants, and the captain thinks he can
raise the entire amount within few days.
He says he has received letters from Boston
parties who will complete the subscriptions
at any time. One of the chief reasons why
Mr.. Vickery is interested in this enterprise
is from the fact that i: will give first class
advantages to passengers desiring to land at
Popham Beach. Gov. Bodwell has under
consideration the taking of block of the
stock, and if he should conclude
to do so he will build dock
so that summer tourists can DE landed at
small Point from the City of Augusta" In
deed, site for wharf has already been laid
out at Seal Cove.
The captain states that the steamer is the
forernnner of a new boat to Boston.
